The İstanbul Lisesi (“Istanbuler Gymnasium”) is a purely state-run Turkish high school in İstanbul in the Cağaloğlu district of the Fatih district , where both Turkish and German teachers teach. The German teachers are placed by the German Central Agency for Schools Abroad and financed by Germany. This cooperation has now existed for over 100 years. In Germany, the school is officially recognized by the KMK as a German school abroad .
history
The school's roots go back to 1884, when a retired officer named Nadir Bey and Abdikamil Efendi from Thessaloniki (now Greece ) founded the Ottoman Empire's first private school called Şems-ül Mekatip . They stopped this partnership after a year and Nadir Bey founded Numune-i Terakki . This school founded by Nadir Bey quickly became known nationwide and attracted the attention of the school ministry at the time. The school was then nationalized in 1896 . In 1910 her name was changed to İstanbul Lisesi . That was the first occurrence of the word "Lise" in Turkey, which is derived from the French "Lycée" and is used today for all secondary schools in the country. In 1913 the name was changed again to İstanbul Sultanisi . This was followed by adaptation to the French school system and cooperation with Germany. In 1914, 22 German teachers were accepted. In 1915, 50 students from İstanbul Sultanisi volunteered for the army to defend their country in the First World War . All of them died on May 19 at 3:30 am. The colors of the school are yellow-black, which is derived from those war years: yellow for the fact that the school building was used as a hospital during the First World War , and black for the dead from this school. The sports club İstanbulspor , which was founded by the school in 1926 and is the first sports club in Turkey to be founded by a school, has the same colors .
In 1923 the name was changed to "Istanbul Boys High School" (İstanbul Erkek Lisesi) . Even if this name is no longer officially valid, the school is known nationwide by this name.
After several changes of the school building, it found its current location in 1933 in a building that had been built by Alexandre Vallaury and Raimondo D'Aronco for the Administration de la Dette Publique Ottomane .
After a cultural agreement between Germany and Turkey in 1957, German was once again taught at school, initially in mathematics and natural science subjects, which is still the case today.
The last name change took place in the 1982/1983 school year.
The school belonged to the so-called Anadolu Liseleri group and offered a year of preparatory level, three years of intermediate level and three years of advanced level. In the preparatory year, the students had 25 hours of German lessons per week; the remaining 15 hours per week were reserved for the subjects Turkish, painting, music and gymnastics. The following year the normal school program for the middle school continued, with mathematics and science being taught in German; the knowledge of German acquired in the preparatory year was used here. Later, due to the 8-year primary school reform, the school could no longer accept pupils in the middle school and the system was adapted to the current 1 + 4 system, with the pupils having intensive German lessons in the first year and in mathematics and mathematics in the following four years Natural sciences are taught in German.
"Christmas ban"
At the end of 2016, there was a controversy over the Christian Christmas tradition at the school. The Turkish school management of the German-Turkish high school is said to have ordered in December 2016, according to an email from the management of the German department to the teachers, that Christmas should no longer be an issue in class. The school choir's participation in the traditional Christmas concert in the German Consulate General was also stopped at short notice by the Turkish school administration, according to the management of the German department. The controversy was settled on December 19, 2016 after a joint meeting between the Turkish school management and the German department. There is no Christmas ban.
emblem
The school's first emblem was designed by Nejat Sier in 1911 . It consisted of the two Arabic letters Alif and Sīn , which were in a crescent moon. A five-pointed star and a rose were also shown. The current version of the emblem goes back to Orhan Omay , who designed it in 1940 based on the old one.
